From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Vickrey (born 1926) is a Massachusetts-based
artist and author who specializes in the ancient medium of
egg
tempera. His paintings are surreal dreamlike visions of sunset shadows
of bicycles, nuns in front of mural-painted brick walls, and
children playing.

Vickery received the Gerard Manley Hopkins Award for
Excellence in the Arts from Fairfield University and the Regina A. Quick Center
for the Arts in March 2009 where a retrospective exhibition of
Vickrey's paintings from 1951-2007 was held at the Thomas J. Walsh
Art Gallery. The award and exhibition coincided with the
publication of "Robert Vickrey: The Magic of Realism," written by
Dr. Philip Eliasoph, a Fairfield University professor of art
history.[1]
